Autonomous agents are beginning to interact with humans on a regular basis. For example, self-driving cars are appearing on local streets where many people drive, and various types of drones are flying through skies over populated areas. These autonomous agents have promise to provide many services that will benefit society, but they also raise significant concerns. The goal of this project is to combine computational methods, philosophy, game theory and psychology to develop a robust moral artificial intelligence (“moral AI”) to direct autonomous agents.
